Alice
Adapted by Lindsay Price from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
Practical and economical solutions to all aspects of the story.
A one-act adaptation of the famous novel by Lewis Carroll.
Alice follows the white rabbit down the rabbit hole into Wonderland, where she meets a cornucopia of strange creatures.
A caterpillar gives advice, the Mad Hatter and March Hare are always at tea time, and the Queen of Hearts continually cries, "Off with her head!"
The Cheshire Cat says everyone in Wonderland is mad, and therefore Alice must be too. Has Alice lost her head? Only the Cheshire Cat knows for sure.

"On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Eight maids a burping, Seven socks a stinking, Six greasy ladles..."
There's trouble in Calendar Castle: The "Twelve Days of Christmas" are getting too big for their britches. They've all got agents, they're making demands, and worse, they're refusing to sing their signature song! Can Groundhog Day, the April Fool, and February 29th come to the rescue?
With a huge cast singing the funniest version of The Twelve Days of Christmas you've ever heard, this holiday romp is a sure-fire hit.

Anne-Arky
By Lindsay Price
"Why wouldn't an agent come to the middle of nowhere? There's lots of theatrical talent in the middle of nowhere."
A high school drama club prepares for their opening night of Anne of Green Gables.
The performance starts out normally enough. But when a rumour spreads that there is an acting agent in the audience, the students scramble to be discovered.
Anarchy ensues! Wigs fall off, ankles are sprained, and the stage manager sets fire to the prompt script. After the dust clears, the true identity of the agent is revealed. Perfect for novice actors.

Being Bianca: The Semi-Complete Guide
By Alan Haehnel
"I get all Cs and Ds - which stand for 'Cute' and 'Delicious'"
Bianca just knows that everyone wants to be her. And why not? By her estimation, she has everything: good looks, humour, popularity, fashion sense, and, above all, intelligence.
When told she should be engaged in volunteer work, Bianca decides to perform a work of great service to mankind: She will teach us all how to "Be Bianca."
From brushing your teeth to choosing the best stuffed animal, she leads us gleefully through her semi-complete guide.
In the end, while the audience may not be convinced that "Being Bianca" is the best idea, they will certainly agree that watching her is a sure formula for hilarity!
